ASP Time stamp??

Hello everyone I'm back again with yet another question... I am using an ASP script for form submission and I want it to grab the date and time when the form is submitted. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/vtoriVBScript.asp

On the left hand side open the "Reference" link and then the "Functions" link. Scroll down to the "Date" function in the right hand side.

ok but where in the ASP do I insert the two codes for date & time?

How about in the code where you need it? If you want something more specific you have to provide more details.

ReportError "Host system lacks component(s) required by this script"
End If
Set objMailx = CreateObject("CDONTS.Newmail")
If IsObject(objMailx) = False Then
ReportError "Host system lacks component(s) required by this script"
End If
Set objMailx = Nothing

If you're using a database, just use (getdate()) as the default value for the "time" field. It will be updated whenever something is written to that field - you don't even need to write to that field, it will be updated in this case whenever a record is modified. PLay around with it, it's fun!
:)

I'm not using a database its just a form that goes through asp to my email and i just want the form to grab the time on submit and send it with the rest of the info...

objMailer.Body = Body & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Time Sent: " & Now()

:)

thanks but where in the asp do i put that... i really dont know asp at all

Put the part I did bold right after the part I didn't bold... ;)

Sorry I still don't understand where to put it... I don't know ASP at all so your gonna please have to spell it out to me... thanks

ok I tried it but it did not work... any other ideas?

Not really, that's pretty basic - and it should work. I use stuff like that every day. :(

Post the modified code perhaps?

Also, you might want to look at a couple of tutorials:

http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/programming/asp/

http://www.w3schools.com/asp

well i have a bigger issue now... lol... i put that in and it didn't work... so i took it back out and left everything else the same... now the entire scipt doesn't work.. please help... here is the code

Ok, well first of all, that script is WAY too complicated for a simple email submission form. Check this out instead:

http://www.solidscripts.com/email.txt

I think the code above is a little easier to understand, in order to add a date stamp you could simply modify this Subroutine (same code):


<% Sub SendEmail() ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objMail.To = "support@solidscripts.com"
objMail.From = """" & Name & """" & " <" & Email & ">"
objMail.cc = ""
objMail.bcc = ""
objMail.Subject = Subject
objMail.Body = Message & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Time Sent: " & Now()
objMail.Send
Set objMail = Nothing
' We'll insert some HTML below to make this a Thank You page. %>

ok thanks alot but do u think you could tell me why the script i already have isnt workin??

Are you getting an error? It helps to provide the error message if so. "It isn't working" doesn't help much.

P.S. the script I wrote only uses one page that posts to itself instead of three...

nope no errors... just everytime I submit the form it goes to the confirmation page and i never get the info that was submitted thats what i cant figure out... it was workin fine the other day until I tried to add the time&date stamp to it but I put it back the way it was and still no good.. hey btw thanks for ur continued help it is greatly appreciated

whammy, my original script is working with the time stamp code you gave me so thank you very much it seems that the mail server it was sending through was having issues that have now been fixed so thank you very much for your all your help...

cool!
